Tips For Finding Great, Inexpensive Stocking Stuffers

Be Picky At The Dollar Store

Yes, there are some good quality $1 finds to be found at dollar stores like Dollar Tree, but there are also a lot of junk items in dollar stores you want to avoid. My favorite go-to item at dollar stores is the theatre-sized boxed candy. My kids usually get several each year in their stockings. They love candy, and the theatre-sized boxes take up a decent amount of room in their stockings for little money–it’s a thrifty win!

For unique items I like Jane.com. You do have to watch shipping prices, but items around $5 can be found with shipping included such as small toys and jewelry. Another great place for unique items is Groopdealz. As with Jane.com and Hollar, items available change daily at Groopdealz, but you can usually find a few under $5 items even when you factor in shipping each day. Oh, and one last tip–shipping at Jane.com and Groopdealz is often lower when you buy more than one of the same item.

Use Coupons

At Christmas time there are often high-value coupons to be found that can drop items to well under $5. For instance, for a few years in a row Hallmark stores put a $10 off a purchase of $10 or more coupon in several magazines. I used it to buy chocolate for my children’s stockings for just pennies out of pocket. Last year it was a $10 off of $20, which wasn’t as good, but still led to half price chocolate (psst…this is how I get my favorite magazines for free).

Bath and Body Works also tends to give out good, high-value coupons this time of year. I usually get those in the mail.

More traditional sources of coupons such as printable coupon sites like Coupons.com, Hopster, Redplum, and Smart Source also offer coupons for items that make excellent stocking stuffers. I have found ones for card games, cosmetics, and more at Christmas time that I have used for Christmas stockings.
